An AABR volunteer's day normally includes all the same tasks and responsibilities that your day has.  And then typically includes reviewing apps, calling references, doing home visits, caring for and working with foster dogs, rescuing dogs from shelters and owner surrenders, transporting dogs to safety and/or vet exams, fund raising, etc..

If we could stop getting half the emails we get asking questions like "What is the adoption process?" or "I live in Smalltown, PA.  Do you cover my area?", we would have more time to do what has to get done. 

If the answer to your email can be found by looking in our site directory, please do not anticipate a response.

Thank you, and thank you for helping us rescue the dogs.

We are looking for a few good homes!  Do you want to rescue a Boxer?  I mean really rescue a Boxer?

AABR has no shortage of applicants that want a Boxer that is good with kids, dogs, cats, pocket pets, letter carriers, and delivery guys... They want puppies or young dogs that come housebroken, with no medical problems, and come perfectly trained.  And of course we have Boxers that come close to those high standards.

But there is a misperception of the Boxer Breed.  The Boxer is a strong minded, self confident breed that requires their owners to be the same. They are also a physically strong dog.  That means that if you don't control them by employing good leadership skills, you aren't going to be able to make up for it by physically controlling them as some small dog owners can get away with.

We are looking for a few good homes to adopt, or even just foster some of our stronger minded but typical boxers.  They are just dogs that being true to their breed, need homes where the humans are not a shade less than "top dog".  These dogs have spirit and drive, and work hard to please their leaders.  Given the right homes and opportunities, dogs like Chance and Milo will be loving, obedient family members.

Do you have the Right Stuff?

Their trainer can't say enough good things about these boys.  

The special person(s) who are interested in adopting Chance or Milo will get to spend some time with them and their teacher, and for FREE, learn what makes their teacher so impressed with these boys.  You will also have to show their trainer that you have the right stuff before you can take one of them home.

So if are interested in some great boxers, and you already have an application in with AABR, please email me  sandy@adoptaboxerrescue.com and we can tell you more about them.  If you don't have an app in yet, please fill out one now (Adopt/Foster Application) and email me ASAP letting me know you would like to be considered for their forever homes!

Taking an easy dog from someone who has to move and rehoming him/her is not a huge challenge. The challenge is transporting and caring for dogs like Marshall, Dude, and Hutch, Stella, Lucy, Mya and Hooch, and now EVE and Fred. The challenge is finding the funds to help the dogs in need of medical care.

That¹s where YOU come in. We need donations to cover the medical bills for these special dogs. Remember we get no public or private funding. We rely on adoption fees and your donations to cover our expenses. 

If you recently brought home a new dog of any age, or have an existing pack... Just as a present to your dog and yourself, now is the time to read or re-read our training philosophy article Nothing In Life Is Free (NILIF)

DOGS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

Click on the Boxer's name for more info on each Available Dog. Read each bio very carefully, as not every rescue Boxer is suited for every home. If you feel that a certain Boxer is a good match for you and your lifestyle, then click here for our ONLINE APPLICATION.

And yes, please realize that the Boxer you may have your heart set on, may be adopted before you're approved.   Should your first choices all ready found their forever home, let us suggest a few that we feel will match your home.  That is what we are good at.   And be happy for the ones that have been adopted... and know that there are way too many fantastic dogs waiting in their place.

We hope you feel that the right Boxer is worth waiting for. 

It takes donations to bring these animals to safety and to treat, spay and neuter and care for these dogs.

Please help...
